I'm blown away by the sheer creativity on display; the developers packed every level with ingenious gimmicks derived from just two core elements: bombs and timing.

Mafia: Old Country delivers a richly cinematic narrative set in early 1900s Sicily, blending mafia intrigue with a tragic love story and stunning Unreal Engine 5 visuals. While its historical setting and film-like presentation are captivating, the gameplay remains linear and lacks depth, offering limited freedom and post-game content.

Putting aside the passionate performances from the cast and some notable concepts, the game's overall quality as a work of horror feels quite poor. Its ability to convey its message and atmosphere—the most vital element of popular art—is especially disappointing, overshadowing its few merits.

Donkey Kong Bananza is Nintendo’s daring challenge to breathe new life into a series that once stood alongside Mario, extending the realm of 3D platformers deep beneath the ground. This endeavor—to dig with bare hands, to give form to a wonderfully pure imagination—is an experience so powerful, it unearths a childlike joy you thought was long buried by the weight of years.

The tension, which is the core of any horror game, wasn't bad, but the overall quality was disappointing. It's the kind of game that's more fun to watch someone else play than to play yourself.

If you enjoy Soulslike games, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers offers some fun moments, particularly in its combat. However, the frustrating controls are hard to overlook.

Everdeep Aurora is like a gift box filled with charm and cuteness. While the game’s design can feel a bit rough around the edges, its steady stream of unexpected discoveries and stylish art direction continue to offer a consistently enjoyable experience.

As a carefully crafted mystery game, it won’t be for everyone. But for those who enjoy slow-burn investigations that reward patience and persistence, this title delivers a satisfying experience.

The Alters is a survival game from 11 bit studios, a developer known for its strong track record in the genre, now blending in elements of science fiction to great effect. The game delivers a refined atmosphere and a clean, intuitive interface, while the theme of “choices made in conflict”—a hallmark of the studio’s previous work—is thoughtfully integrated into the gameplay.

The captivating atmosphere of the Prohibition era and its engaging mysteries are definite highlights, but the overall experience is held back by an intrusive interface and persistent bugs.
